An occasional series celebrating railway obfuscation.
This from Wrexham.com:
Alexia Course, Director of Transport Operations at TfW explained more about the issues surrounding the Class 230 introduction...
“There was an issue to do with the threshold of the power outage, we have got to the bottom of that, it was basically to do with a bit of kit.” She said while explaining she couldn’t be more detailed, as “I’m not an engineer.”
She said the part, “had a more sensitive threshold level which then resulted in this (thermal) event happening.”
“We have got to replace that bit of kit and that is what is taking a bit of extra time because we have got to order it as a specialist part, get it delivered, get it installed and get it all tested.”
Alexia said the fix will “increase the threshold levels, which means that the batteries can operate before going into a kind of thermal event mode.”
A Class 230 post 'thermal event mode'.
Or 'getting on fire' as we used to say...
